Corallo
by Xerjoff
Corallo by Xerjoff is a deeply nostalgic, powdery iris fragrance with a distinct Belle Époque character. It opens with a crisp, soapy green aroma, supported by bright citrus and aromatic lavender—creating an almost medicinal freshness that gradually settles. The heart unfolds into a rich, waxy iris butter accented with jasmine, neroli, and violet, delivering a lush, abstract floral halo. The dry down brings gentle vanilla and amber warmth, blending with woody undertones, giving it a sweet yet restrained foundation. The scent evolves remarkably, shifting across time, offering depth and complexity without veering into artifice. Its sillage is moderate to strong, with strong longevity, making it ideal for day wear in spring and autumn, though its character may feel too distinct or delicate for some. The fragrance leans unisex but carries a feminine aura due to its powdery, tactile quality.
